I used to be so in awe of Lin xiaoniang, who could cry and faint so perfectly on cue.

Can we talk for a moment about how COMPLETELY BUCKWILD this scene is on an emotional level?

Like… a year ago Yan Que was straight up ready to murder the Emperor. Was prepared to commit treason and die to do it. He HATES him. MCS talks him out of it, but at no point is it ever suggested that the Emperor doesn’t deserve it. And it’s not like things have really changed at all between the two of them since. I seriously doubt that Yan Que’s feelings are any different here.

But at the same time, their lives are threatened and the odds against them are impossible. So Marquis Yan, who is an old man, who has been living like a monk in the mountains for decades, decides to rally this absolute last line of defense, and draws swords side by side with the Emperor. I actually have no intelligent conclusions to draw about this moment it’s just WILD.

I kind of believe that in this moment we sort of go back in time. We get to see what these two men were like when they were young, before Xiao Xuan became Emperor. We get to see a glimpse of the Marquis in action, probably even more here than we do at Xie Yu’s house. And we see Xiao Xuan standing with him, ready to fight. They were brothers in arms once, and now they are barely on speaking terms, but they stand shoulder to shoulder at the front of the hall anyway.

Prince Jing is here to fuck shit up

Something special is coming…

And the answer my friends, is blowing in the winds of Changlin…

Sometimes you may feel you’re the only one, Cause all the things you thought were safe, now they’re gone. But you won’t be alone, I’ll be here to carry you along, Watching you ‘til all your work is done

For prompt: a snippet from the NiF universe where Emperor is less shitty, Crown Prince Qi lives and MCS is still Lin Shu?

I’m sorry, but faildad will always be fail dad. Anyway, have a bit of transmigration nonsense instead.

Lin Shu wakes up.

He sits up, looks around, and then looks down at his hands. He turns his wrist back and forth, checking them as if they should have become frail overnight.

They’re perfectly fine but – Lin Shu checks them again.

“Huh,” he says, very thoughtfully, and then gets out of bed.

First he writes a letter to Jingyan telling him to stay the fuck away from the capital for a bit. He bites the end of his brush for a minute, and then writes another one to Prince Qi to suggest nobility was good, but a wise man retreated to live another day, and also considered the merits of letting people drop boulders on their own damn feet. Then he goes to find his dad.

By the time Jingyan gets the letter and comes to find out what the fuck is going on, several things are happening in the capital, all of them with nothing to do at all with the Lin family. Jingyan isn’t stupid, so he goes to shake the truth out of Xiao Shu, and finds his cousin writing steadily away with a focus rarely seen in him. He has several piles of paper around them.

“Hey,” says Lin Shu, reaching out and grabbing Jingyan. He tugs, and Jingyan is so surprised that he lets Xiao Shu pull him down and settle Jingyan close to his side so he can use him as a support.

“What’s going on?” says Jingyan.

“You remember when we went to the fortuneteller at the Mid-Autumn Festival and they told me that a turning point was coming and I ought to be careful?”

“Yes,” says Jingyan warily.

“Well,” says Lin Shu brightly, “why wait for a turning point when you can turn things yourself?”

Jingyan rubs his face with his hand. “What type of mess did you make?”

“Oh, I wouldn’t say a mess,” says Lin Shu, vaguely. “Or that I made it. As such.”

By the end of the month, things are very different in the capital. For one thing, the emperor has suddenly decided to retire to a monastery and allow his concubines to leave the palace if they wish to live with their sons, and for another, several of the consorts and their sons, and the empress, are very, very dead.

Lin Shu, of course, has nothing to do with any of this.
